Summary

It’s been a week since Michael was defeated and Dean freed, but Castiel can’t seem to get back on the horse. Dean, on the other hand appears to have bounced back completely, with one small exception: he no longer dares touch the now-human Cas at all.

When they receive a call from Jesse and Cesar to come investigate a series of mysterious drownings near their New Mexico ranch, Dean jumps on the job, much to Cas and Sam’s dismay. But more challenging than the kelpie they encounter, Jesse and Cesar’s relationship holds up a mirror, showing Dean and Cas the future they wish they could have. When Rowena and Charlie get involved, a shake-up is inevitable.

Summary

Team Free Will 2.0 takes a vacation to Loch Ness on a whim after Michael lets Dean go. Sam wants to honor Bobby by looking for Nessie, Jack is excited to do human things, Dean grumbles the whole way, and Cas, well of course Cas is there, because he always is. But a vacation with these idiots can never be just that, and when they stumble on a case with a Led Zeppelin connection, Dean can’t resist. Along the way, people need to be saved, things need to be hunted, and maybe, just maybe, Dean and Cas will find their way to each other.

Summary

It had been months since Dean gave his body over to Michael. Almost six. Half a year. Exactly five months, three weeks, six days, eleven hours, thirty-one minutes, and seven seconds, by Castiel’s count. Eight seconds. Nine. Ten. Eleven…each stretching on longer than the last. Staring down Dean—or the body of Dean—across the wall of fire, Castiel made a note to start adding milliseconds if this didn’t work.

Summary

SERIES UP FOR ADOPTION. Blaming themselves for Kevin's death, Aline & Dean come face to face with someone unexpected. Life goes on in Amaterasu's history as Aline and the Winchesters reunite to face the mysterious, yet dangerous Water Dragon in a new area of Nippon. Whatever is going on seems to be effecting Aline, making her darker, wilder than before. What exactly is going on in Ryoshima Coast? Part two of the Sun Rise Trilogy.

Summary

After 13x23: Let the Good Times Roll, the bunker is full of refugees, and Dean is possessed by Michael, who is missing in action. Fortunately, Sam knows a spell to find an angel using its grace, and Michael’s ex-vessel from Apocalypse World survived his possession with some grace left to spare. But the situation is more complicated than Sam had anticipated. He struggles with his feelings for Dean, discovers the ex-vessel’s identity, and gets reminded the hard way there's more than one use for an archangel's grace.

Summary

Speaking of sublimation…Dean has noticed that he and Cas are really good at turning their chemistry into something more socially acceptable, especially in front of others. But in the moments when they’re safe from harm and utterly alone, their closeness fills him up and spills over. He can’t control it. (But does he even want to?)

Episode codas that just make sense to me, because Destiel has been canon for a while. Title taken from Psalm 23.

Summary

Sometimes. Just sometimes. Fate dips it’s hand into the world and sets two kids, running away from their homes, their family, their mistakes, barreling right into one another. Jack can’t handle the fact he’s caused the people he loves pain again, and Riley… well, she’s got her own demons to leave behind.

Summary

This is a thought experiment written after the airing of the the Season 13 finale. The idea is that we could have a Dean/Cas kiss shown in a flashback next season. I emphatically am NOT saying this will happen or that I expect it to. But I want to consider it as a possibility. I know that in some sense we are all always turning a Destiel kiss over as an idea but this time I think there’s a consensus that this would have been the perfect opportunity–narratively and in character development–for Dean and Cas to share their first and possibly last kiss.

Summary

Spoilers from the season 13 finale. Sam and Jack have been kidnapped by Lucifer. Time is running out. What if Dean never said yes to Alternative Michael but instead says yes to our Michael. It is a risky deal but Dean will do whatever it takes to rescue his family and beat the devil once and for all.

Summary

And now, since everything’s gone to shit, the only thing Castiel wants is to see Dean. He wants to confide in him. He wants for Dean to tell him that they’ll figure this out; they have to because they’re Winchesters and they always do.

A sensory analysis, from Castiel’s point of view, of Team Free Will (minus Dean) struggling to find a way to save Dean from Michael. Now complete with a follow up chapter from Dean’s perspective.
